May Creek Airport sits at May Creek, Alaska. Field elevation is 1,681 ft MSL. This is an uncontrolled field with CTAF 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. The Chart Supplement does not list any runways, so verify the current field condition before you plan an arrival.

The published remarks matter here. Runway condition is not monitored, so a visual inspection is recommended before landing. Summer grass can grow up to 1 foot high. The runway area also has nonstandard markings. Thresholds are marked with cones and panels. The panels are faded. The surface slopes up from runway 13 toward runway 31. The runway 31 threshold is about 100 feet higher. There is also a mountain about 3 miles from the runway 13 threshold. Trees rise to 77 ft on each side along the full length of the runway centerline and safety area for runways 13 and 31. A road sits adjacent to the east side of the runway.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations only if that matches your aircraft and local practice. With no tower, no listed on-field FBOs and no published ILS, a first-time pilot should treat this as a backcountry-style arrival. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and call the airport operator before departure. Confirm runway status, surface condition and any local procedures before you go.
